NEW! All-new international EXCLUSIVE!

Were the paleolithic cave "paintings" of stone-age France really methods of shamanistic divination and the secret source of Nostradamus's prophecies?

In a truly historical undertaking, your foremost experts in tarotical oraclese, Chinese electrokinematical randomology, Mayan Ouijalogy, Ptolemaic soothery, remote dousing, and dervish twirlomancy have teamed with the world's topmost gerontologists, Atlantian apologists, and top-secret ex-economists to bring you timeless wisdom from over 30,000 years ago! Read the frighteningly-accurate and never-before-seen predictions for our modern times! What did the forgotten shamans from the Clan of the Chauvet Wooly Cave Rhino foresee for YOU?

Not only do we bring you the secrets of the forgotten shamans of prehistoric France, but this one-of-a-kind marvel is NOW FREE as part of our elite and famously reliable horoscope. Your horoscope is specially decoded from original and historically-accurate divining sources including: Mayan, Chinese, Inuit, Falklandese, Zoorastrian, Sindarin, Dominican, Futhark, Greek, Tibetan, and Cimmerian!

Each reading is carefully calculated, divined, and extracted from its ancient source by a world-renowned team of hermetic druids, equestrian mediums, Rosicrucian witches, and basque voodoo priests. From there, the readings are carefully vacuum-sealed in lead-shielded envelopes, packed in purifying rose quartz crystals, and transported thousands of miles by Spec-Overland Parcel Service operators to clandestine multilingual labs. Here, the priceless messages are translated from the original hieroglyphic, Olmec, and Linear B by a corps of dedicated specialists into modern English. Finally, to share these transcendent communiques with the world, rather than simply "posting" the results of countless hours and painstaking precision to the Internet, each message is specially transformed one last time by the techpriests of the Most Ancient Ontario Tradition into refined, 100% binary. This preserves the sacred power of the words and brings them freshly imbued with a pure white energy that is sure to resonate with your soul!

Your Horocope for May 2011:

Bot fly larvae cause headache surely. Something may happen to you or someone you may know. Courage is needed. The time for reconciliation with a loved one can wait. The fortune cookie lied. Make room for love and love will make room for you. A heavy burden will be eased with time and plenty of fiber. If you let your body go it will come back to haunt you. Angels are watching over you. The odds are 10:1.

@Edward: Yes, the horoscope is original. Every once in a while I get in a mood for satire, and I'm considering channeling the "Apocolyptian-Aquarian" every once in a while for fun. I haven't read the pieces you've mentioned, but I'll look into them. I'll also look for your Facebook page.

As far as other blogs go, I'm not very widely-read. My friend Gus referred me to your blog, as he was right in thinking I would enjoy it. Otherwise, I read familial blogs, which I must say somewhat incorrectly suggests I read them out of duty. I like my brother Peter's blog (Surviving Phalaris) the most, because I'm into philosophy (and the "What is True, What is Good" essay was particularly excellent), but there's my sister's anthropological-tinted analysis of culture and food in her blog, and my sister-in-law's blog ... There's really no middle ground between saying I only read family and friends, and making a plug and saying I'd read their blogs even if I didn't know them -- the point being they currently satisfy my blog diet. On the other hand, I am curious what other blogs you might recommend. :)
